House of J wrote::lol: Mark Millar does seem to be drawing from a lot of films lately--and Ultimate Avengers even feels like a movie in terms of pacing and certain...tropes (I'm your father, Luke, oops, I'm your son, Cap). Feels like he is sort of writing film-ish comics. Maybe from working on screenplays or something, it has been a natural evolution.

Yeah he used about every damn cliche in the book for Old Man Logan save for the I am your father one. Guess he's saving that for Old Man Logan II.

Giant Size Wolverine: Old Man LoganIs it possible to really like something but still be disappointed? That is sort of how I felt about this after reading the conclusion. First off the art is amazing, Mcniven is so good... he is always a treat to read, I can't remember ever being disappointed by him. The story is pretty great and exactly what I was hoping for... lots of action, blood, cow guts, Hulk's upset tummy, really good stuff. My only problem is the ending, I was hoping for an ending and got a beginning. I am not sure how I wanted this to end, maybe I didn't want it to end but I expected something and got what we got which I won't spoil and while it intrigues me, I think I wanted some finality. Yes Millar is influenced by Unforgiven and Mad Max as well and this has been one of my favorite reads in a while and I am sure we will see more.

I don't think Millar saw the end in terms of finality, though, since it sort of leads into his earlier Fantastic Four run at the end here--I say sort of because there isn't much to connect OML to the Hooded Man except Brucie--which ties in with his 1985, etc.

I think it was an interesting experiment to tie these disparate books together, the end here leaves plenty of room for more stories in between.

Can you please stop trying to irritate Punchy. I like the guy, even if he does think I don't have any points to make.

And it's not like you have a lot of posters here anyway. Do you really want to chase away ANY posters? This board could become as old and stale as the TCJ board, or the boards at Comicon/The Pulse.

I haven't been offended by anything intended to insult me, it's water off a duck's back, What I am offended by is HoJ's general attitude here.

Nothing I wrote initially was intended to irritate Punchy or "get his ire up", not one word was written with him in mind at all. You can see from his last post that any offense taken he brought with him already. Couldn't care less, and nothing I can do about that.

Your post is annoying, especially, since the whole back-and-forth began with him saying he wanted me out of the group, not the opposite. Maybe you are old and forgetful.

First I will say the one great thing about Millar's writing in general. It is always an easy read. I mean, I was able to breeze through this entire thing in less than five minutes. That's Millar at his best!

The art was fantastic even if I was less than enthused with all the typical blood and guts that I knew was going to be in here.

Of course I came into this story at the end but did read the previously section. That, alone, made me laugh out loud. For a second I honestly thought this was supposed to be kind of a tongue in cheeck Wolverine story. If it had, I would have given this thing a 9.5 easy. But I guess I was supposed to take it seriously. Who knew.

Oh and for the record. This was no where near the money that had to be forked out.

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.I wish enough "Hello's" to get you through the final "Good-bye.."

maybe (and this is just a suggestion from someone who likes both of you), you all should agree to disagree or whatever it is going to take to be civil with each other (at least in this thread that is here for fun) and realize that neither of you are going to change. So accept each others idiosyncrasies and lighten up. Have fun.

Please.
